Looks just like Google but it’s not. From the About page:

What’s this site about?

This site earns money for charity when you do Google searches.

What do I need to do to contribute?

Conducting your Google searches here is all you need to do. Please help us make this site popular by telling your friends about it.

Which charities benefit?

At the moment the only charities that benefit are the charities here. If gdonate.com gets popular enough we have plans to allow you to save your preferences so benefits can go to the charity you choose.

Are you affiliated with Google?

No, we are not affiliated with Google in anyway.

So how does it work?

The charities are members of the Google Adsense program which pays them directly. Each search doesn’t earn vast sums but lots of searches here by millions of people all over the world will raise some considerable sums directly for the charities.

What do you get out of this?

Nothing, and we have no plans to gain anything later either. This site was setup and maintained as a benevolent gesture and our reward is seeing YOU generate large sums for charity by doing nothing more than conducting your searches here.

With Omakase Amazon has plunged into contextual, content-sensitive advertising itself, which differently than the old Amazon Associate program (where you would select specific books to promote on your pages and received a small commission for each such sale), provides dynamic, “intelligent” product links based on the specific content of your own web page.

Just like Google’s AdSense program, you need to place a snippet of code inside your Web pages to let Amazon scan, read and feed-back the most relevant ads for Amazon titles that are most fitting for your content.

But the major issue here is that most online publishers got as excited about this new announcement as much as they got worried and fearful that the new Omakase program is incompatible with AdSense itself, due to Google legal restrictions in using other competing contextual advertising services next to its.

# Distractions - there is always something more interesting to do. Reward yourself by getting the dull stuff done now so you can get to the more enjoyable tasks
# Hunger - make sure you feed yourself, I find I just can not concentrate unless I have eaten but be careful to not over do it as being bloated is just as bad!
# Dehydration - it’s right what they say, you need to regularly drink fluids, preferably not the ones that make you desperate for … comfort breaks
# Lack of oxygen - I always think and work better when I get time to get out in the fresh air
# Lack of interest - so important I don’t mind reiterating over and over, if you are starting a blog write about something you are interested in, it makes maintaining it long term so much easier
# Fatigue - get rest, people who are tired not only do less work, the work they produce is crap

Every point that Chris makes can be directly tied to the performance of a top notch attlete. So the next time your down, tired or lazy think about how if you want to succeed as a blogger you’ve got to treat it as if your an attlete. There will be times you just don’t have the energy to write just like there are days when that pro attlete awakes and doesn’t want to practice. In the end it those who are stronger and can fight past.

Google, fix your blog pleeasssee! <3

(P.S. Just to clear things up, I’m not associated with Google at all.)

Google’s response now claims that they unintentionally deleted their own blog and somebody else registered the name to make this post. So no passwords were lost or any system hacked.

“The idea of the automated bar originally came from a website I stumbled across about a year ago. In October of 2003 Steven Avery, Dustin Cooper and Brad Greer of Harvey Mudd College build what they dubbed the “Bar Monkey.” It consisted of 16 reservoirs and pumps and were controlled by a computer and small number pad. The user entered a drink and it would pump out through a series of tubes. The idea was picked up by others and a website was launched at barmonkey.net for people to share ideas about their own bar monkey projects.

In early 2005 I began to gather ideas and draw up designs for my own automated bar project. By the summer I finalized plans and began to construct the bar framing. By the end of the summer the frame was built and I had basic software written to control the pumps from the computer. At the end of August, with the help of my roommate and Dad’s truck I was able to get the bar from my off-campus apartment to my new dorm room at my Boston area college (where the bar currently resides). The next two months were spent finishing the bar and software and getting everything ready.

On November 6, 2005 the automated bar made it’s debut. For the most part everything worked perfectly. Everyone was amazed and impressed that they could pick a drink from a list and have it appear in front of them in about 10 seconds.”
